Deutschland soll Wissenschafts-Weltspitze werden?: Das geht – aber man muss es sich auch leisten wollen! Seit der US-Krise träumt Deutschland davon, zur globalen Nummer eins der Wissenschaft zu werden. Große Gesten aber reichen nicht. Es braucht eine Revolution. Auch finanziell.

Seit Donald Trump seine Elite-Universitäten bekämpft und die Wissenschaft der USA zerstört, überbieten sich deutsche Politiker mit großen Gesten. Damit ihre Träume wahr werden, bräuchte es aber fette Investitionen.

Thanks, Eckhard! Great to hear that you like your study 🤓

Duration spent never-married with child(ren) between ages 15–50 was substantially negatively associated with personal wealth at ages 50–59. Being never-married without children showed a positive, though more moderate, link with later wealth. Some gender differences also emerged.

Thanks Ian! As you rightfully point out, the first part of our study only tells us about importance (according to Boruta), but not the strength & direction of the association with wealth—that’s part 2 of our analysis. All the details are in the paper. But to clarify & highlight part 2 results:
